The Companies Partner to Integrate Advanced Compression and Streaming Technologies for High Quality Video Content at Very Low Bandwidth Rates -
SALT LAKE CITY, April 13, 2010 - Broadcast International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BCST)("BI")
(www.brin.com) and Anevia announced today that the companies have
teamed together to provide seamless video services for the IPTV market. The
partnership between the companies is multi-faceted and is based upon the
interoperability of breakthrough, multi-codec video compression technologies
from Broadcast International and advanced streaming technologies from Anevia
that can deliver high-quality video to TVs, PCs and mobile phones.
Anevia, a leader in video streaming solutions and service infrastructure
for live TV and video on demand (VOD), provides open, standards based
software that optimizes the flow and streaming of high-quality video for
various applications. Anevia has also developed 3Screens - a platform that
manages conversion and delivery of video content to multiple devices for
IPTV, Mobile, Broadcast, and many other services.
In order to ensure optimal treatment of the video content as it travels
through a system's network, it must be encoded, transcoded, and optimized in
a way to seamlessly interact with the Anevia platform.
Broadcast International has developed a patented software framework
called CodecSys(TM) that cuts video bandwidth requirements over satellite,
cable, IP, and wireless networks. It employs a breakthrough, multi-codec
video compression technology based entirely within a software framework.
Broadcast International and Anevia have partnered to ensure seamless
interoperability between CodecSys and Anevia's product lines through a series
of open, manageable API's. This interoperability enables delivery of high
quality video content over any network, even at low bandwidth.
"We are extremely optimistic at the prospects of our alliance with
Anevia. It has a solid foundation, built on the seamless integration of our
products and the aim of providing superior video content to subscribers. We
share a unique perspective on managing and optimizing video and doing it with
streamlined software as opposed to outdated hardware appliances. Anevia leads
the way in managing both live and video-on-demand applications and we can
bring added-value to their solutions with our high-quality encoding and
transcoding applications," said Rod Tiede, CEO Broadcast International.
Broadcast International is a leading supplier in the Americas while
Anevia has a strong presence across the IPTV market in Europe, Middle East,
and Africa. The partnership will allow both companies to deliver improved
video services to a wider audience, extending their reach and raising
customer satisfaction.
"Anevia is delighted that the partnership with Broadcast International
will enable us to propose the highest quality video content at very low
bandwidth rates," said Bernard Van Hoorn, Southern & Northern Europe Area
Director at Anevia. "Our customers have come to expect the best from our
solutions. Interoperability of our technologies with CodecSys(TM) shows them
that we continue to seek excellence and innovation in video service delivery.
Many of our customers have been searching for just such an offering."
